Decorate Without Damage
Everyone wants to personalize their apartment, but no one wants to lose their security deposit. It’s a common dilemma for every tenant. Fortunately, there’s plenty of ways to decorate without wrecking the walls of your apartment.

Think about the places you like to hang out at or if that’s too much to choose from, just pick one of your favorite colors. It’s much easier to decorate when you decide on a theme before you start. When you have an idea of what you want your apartment to look like, you’ll have more luck bringing your idea to life.
Decorations That Live and Breathe
If you have a stuffy apartment, consider bringing some plants in to freshen the place up. Plants are basically living air fresheners while also making great decorations. Contrary to popular belief, there is a plethora of plant species that will live excellent lives in your apartment, even if you’re not normally a green thumb! If you have a tendency to forget to water or rotate your plants into the sun light, you can always use fake plants as decoration without the worry of keeping them alive.

Extra Lighting
If you already have extra lights and lamps in your apartment, you can always try bringing in a different lighting style. If you need new lighting ideas for the low, grab some string lights to add soft, dynamic lighting. Slow, early mornings and calm, late nights don’t require bright, energetic lights like you may have.

While white string lights are the most common, you can really get them in any color or a variety of colors to match your design theme or have a rotation of different lights to keep it fun.
Walls Are Your Canvas

Leave the hammer and nail behind, use Command hooks to decorate without damaging your apartment. If you want to add some personality to your walls, consider using vinyl decals to spice the place up.

As always, find an area rug that meshes well with your design and color scheme.
